TL;DR
- Cindy Brunson defended DiJonai Carrington's ejection-worthy foul on Sophie Cunningham, arguing it should have been a Flagrant 1, and also claimed white WNBA players benefit from 'reverse DEI'.
- Brunson publicly stated she is 'team DiJonai all day every day'.
- Brunson attempted to discredit Caitlin Clark's performance by calling her 37-point game 'stat padding' and comparing it unfavorably to another player's performance in a different game.
- Brunson later deleted her post about Clark, claiming it led to 'racist' and 'transphobic' comments.
- Brunson has continued to criticize Clark's achievements, dismissing her record-breaking 30-point, 10-assist games as a 'small sample size'.
- Brunson celebrated Paige Bueckers' similar statistics in a blowout win without criticism, stating it was 'different'.
- Brunson praised Angel Reese for setting records in a blowout victory, arguing that competition and score do not matter in that instance, a stance inconsistent with her view on Clark.
